The perfect fairytale

The 2013 team Keshi used was far better and cohesive than this one, even Osimhen sef isn't as good as we hype him up to be...I'll take the likes of Ideye Brown and Emenike 10x over Osimhen.

It's the system that we played, not Osimhen.

Osimhen wasn't fed a single chance in this game.

Can you say that about the games he plays at Napoli?

We also missed Victor Boniface who was to partner Osimhen, and Ndidi in midfield.

Hermaphrodite2:
We were just lucky as a team right from the inception of the tournament.

We were not always in control of the game
Just depend on lucky wins

I knew that it will be very difficult beating the host for the second time

Just exactly like my club Man United. They always depend solely on lucky wins. Very bad

God1000:
Congrats to them, they played better than us.


I don't want to blame any of our players, they tried their best too but it wasn't good enough.

Though I wanted Super eagles to win for the sake of Nigerians that died watching the semi-final against south Africa, but it is what it is

South Africans will be so happy with our defeat today but no shaking.

When you count your egg before it aches

Look for that mad man that came to prank Super Eagles player, cut his legs even if he is real mad man or fake. He brought us bad luck man. Madness is synonymous to bad luck.

They hosted it, they won it, they deserved their victory and the cup. Kudos to the new African Champ.

Malroux:
Tinubu's bad luck keeps spreading like wildfire.

I swear!
I am glad we lost, tinubu and APC were already cueing up behind the nations cup to hide their wanton unprecedented failures.
Tinubu does not deserve the victory just like buhari, they are all monumental failures, cost of living is now an all time high

Our politicians should stay out of our matches. Buhari called the Super Eagles on phone and they lost all their remaining matches, Shetima visited them and they lost this match again. Wait for them, when they come back, you congratulate them, please!

GUNITGuy:
That team was just lucky with lone goals and absolve pressure throughout the match....
There was no team we possessed them .....They weren't expecting CIV to score keep absolving pressure and counter attack .....
No team is Sustainable like that ....Most African teams are attacking in these tournaments ...
They were better teams than Nigeria....If Nigeria had met Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Cape Verde, even Ghana it won't be what we are Saying ...
South Africa gave Alot of people B.p ...They possessed better and held the ball like Pros ....
The final minutes would have sent us out if that S.A rebound freekick was taken well it was a clear chance ...
Let's stop hyping Osimhen too much ...Let's make them proof they are worthy not just media noise that we've always made about the Super Eagles that we fully know it's Centred on the Defensive/opportunity Counters....
Can't create real chance except a Mistake which we Saw in Cameroun ...
We don't have a Playing pattern yet that is a real threat ...
Troost Ekong was definitely the best despite no one even recognize his efforts

to go these far is a miracle, thats why i dont like people criticizn dem. They too were not pained. They were too lucky. A team without solid attacking mid fielders, wont survive this new generation football pace. They lack everything mid field.
So people need to understand that they dont deserve that second space by the standard of this afcon, but here we are. So no need to critize them. Asuming SA beat us, they would have dealt with CIV cos they wont be able to match their speed.

madjune:
Can anybody tell me why they don't deserve to lose?

They've been training on SM and celebrating the final ahead of time.

There's need for top notch psychologists to be included in their coaching staff.

Guy! You are a gem!! The game was more psychological than tactical. Even if we were going to defend, we should have done so with conviction but our boys were overwhelmed from the blast of the whistle. Too many fouls in the opening minutes. Osimhen losing his head, Nwabali getting into altercations. Even the coach lost his head and got booked. A psychological mess. That match was lost way before kickoff.

Malroux:
Tinubu is a big disgrace to the human race.

Your entire tribe can never attain or achieve tinubu grace

richiemcgold:

E pain me; I no go lie.

...but let's not forget that only few Nigerians gave Peseiro and his boys any chance. Prior to this AFCON, many of us called them super chickens.

Way forward now is to face world cup qualifier with all seriousness. We must not miss out again this time.

Is there any need when they play unprecised football?

Objectivist04:
..
So I like your admonition but it is somehow contradictory.

If Tinubu is suffering karma for dishonoring his predecessors as you said, isn't it right to say Mr karma is using the person you quoted to pay Tinubu back ?

It isn't contradictory.
Yes, people are being used to exercise the karma over Tinubu.
Try not to be among them. So that you like wise don't continue in the chain of Karma.
Do unto others as you will have them do to you.

it was like a scripted play, dem jus write everybody scripte say see ur part no over do ur part just stay within the lines
1.Ola Aina was palying asif he dey fear
2.Nwabili wey suppose dey calm dey fight, collect yellow, the 2 goals are all as a result of his bad positioning, intentional or not we leave am with God
3. Iwobi, dat one na from day 1
4.Jose Paseiro...

whippersnapper:
the super chickens

Bad mouth.

You want them to win always, abi? For sure, you're not a good sports man. Take defeat with magnanimity. Not pains and name calling as you're doing.

Ghana lost in group stages of the competition. Nobody is calling them Dim stars.

Glory Glory Nigeria. For those thinking it's easy to beat the host of a competition in a final, make dem go die. All these Ghanaians and South Africans dragging us be confirm idiots. We carry Silver, wetin Ghana carry, firewood. France beat Brazil 3:0 for Final France 98 and being the host was one of the influencing factors. Anybody wey think say Super Eagles no try, make dem go die. Iyalaya all of una.

You saw what I saw.

They were simply overwhelmed by all the Nigerian and World attention heaped on them.

Not everyone has that discipline or maturity to handle such pressure at the highest level.
Beyond their individual talents. It exposed the strength of their psyche and how fragile their character was when stretched overnight.

They didn't even want to play that match.
They wanted it quickly done with and carry their SM trophy.

They need psychologists.

The boiz funked up big time..we were outplayed and outclassed..they were just playing us in our half of the field with frequent corners and free kick set pieces. Their passes were accurate..iwobi was very lazy on the ball as usual occasionally giving some accurate passes..Aina relented a bit chukwubueze wasn't even see for a time of the match..our passes were very poor and we were always passing backwards oftentimes allowing our goal keeper to be under unnecessary pressure leaving him with option to play a long bal...after scoring we should av increased the pressure on those guys..we didn't even test their keeper who was obviously sub par from few encounters. We had this cup..this crop of guys forked up big time. Who is that powerful man fielding in iwobi everytime.

The cup no fine self and na Aba made
